How do I go to school ‘free’ abroad? I give quotes on the ‘free’ because it really is not 100% absolutely free. In some cases, at least we have to work in advance to raise money for a plane ticket + first month’s living expenses, and the situation may not allow us to be married first.

Type of scholarship that will be the first I mentioned is the kind of scholarship that high chances to get it. Usually this type of scholarship is a scholarship types of research, and fortunately, almost all without bond department. For some types of scholarships, they are more pleased if the applicant worked for educational institutions, research institutes, or NGOs.

One rule of thumb that should be internalized is: ‘we must have full energy to get graduate scholarships, but relatively much easier to get a PhD scholarship’. So if you make up time, should take the first graduate in your country, while also applying for graduate/ PhD elsewhere.

Scholarship List by Country

In general, this scholarship has the following characteristics:

1. Has no official ties at all

2. Students must do research according to their interests, as well as his thesis

Scholarship to United States

Usually the good schools in the United States, (say top 50 in field) are often called stipend scholarships, although the new graduate students. The amount is stipend of about U.S. $ 1000-1400, depending on location. What is clear enough once to live. Students who receive a stipend, it is also not required to pay school fees (tuition fee). The duration of the stipend per semester, but during summer is usually given another job at the university (Mostly guaranteed). If you’re unlucky (rarely), cannot be assistantship for that semester, so go back to your country first.

Important requirement is to get a scholarship must be willing to be a teaching assistant or research assistant.

Teaching assistants assigned to assist the process of teaching and learning in the classroom, such as photocopying, computer setup in the lab for that class, examine the tasks, and provide tutorials for our students. While the research assistants assigned to assist professors in the lab, such as a program made for him, set his laboratory, documenting research and so forth. Students in addition to doing research, is also still required to take coursework (class).

It should be recognized that there are some famous schools which only provide a guarantee scholarships to students PhD. Fortunately, in the U.S., undergraduate students can directly enter PhD program, where in the middle of the PhD program there was a relevant certificate that has surpassed the level of graduate. So you can understand them.

To sign up for postgraduate education to the U.S., they usually require applicants to provide the results of TOEFL and GRE General Test of the official ETS (www.ets.org). Some universities also require taking the GRE Subject Test, for example Computer Science GRE, GRE Biology, GRE Economics, and so forth.

The cost is approximately U.S. $ 60 TOEFL, GRE approximately U.S. $ 120. If you have a TOEFL> 580 (default value of old) and the GRE General Test> 1750 I would suggest going to the U.S.

In fact, I recommend registering in the top 20 if it has a GRE> 1900. Go for it!

Applicants can download application forms directly from the university website.

In the registration form, there is usually a question of where the source of funding for college later. Choose the option to ‘rely entirely on the university with the assistantship stipend’. Regular registration fee is between US $ 30 – $ 60.

Then they usually tell us to make a statement of purpose. The purpose of the statement of purpose is to assure that you deserve the scholarship.

You must show ‘capability’ you, do not even condescending! Statement of purpose contents:

1.       why we want to make higher education

2.       Field of specialization us what, if I can show you a little knowledge about the ‘trend’ in the field of research.

3.       why we want to do research in that field

4.       when it’s finished and want to be what would work where (academics, industry, professional, etc.) as what

In addition you should also tell you:

1.       If possible, show that you have competence in that field (so it’s good from now you already have field focus).

2.       Show that you can become an assistant in any subjects undergraduate (if a teaching assistant). But also you can explain ‘flexible’.

Because the usual statement of purpose it should be short and brief (about 1 / 2 page, max 1 page), if you need to tell the 2 points above the outside of the statement of purpose. But if you still fit, so put it in the statement of purpose.

Before applying, it helps if you make sure first that the field you are interested in, there are professors who have more or less the same interests at the university. First talk with professors, telling them I was interested in conducting research. Ask also whether he is interested in taking you into his students. Do not forget to look for a little face . This will slightly smooth the road when a new student selection. Just info, universities in the U.S. usually do not ask for a concrete research plan, because only then there’ll plan the research.

By the way, before going to the U.S., we also must have a supply of money for a month ($ 1500 +), plus airfare to the United States (around $ 700).

Scholarship to Germany

In the countries of mainland Europe (excluding the British), usually do not know the bachelor’s degree (undergraduate), because the bachelor is the pattern of Anglo-Saxon education. Which is practically close to the undergraduate it is a polytechnic programs? Now, therefore undergraduate graduate Your country should be upgraded to match the graduates of the mainland European union, namely Drs, Dipl or Lc. Degree is equal to graduate.

Like many we know, in German universities did not charge. But of course we must have a source of funding for living expenses.

DAAD (www.daad.de) is a German institution that provides educational information and also information on scholarships in Germany. They have a scholarship program each year. DAAD scholarship scheme provided include graduate, PhD, sandwich courses, research 3-6 months, and also postdoctoral research. Airfare is provided.

There is also a scholarship from the industry such as Siemens’ large DM 1200. Not be civil servants.

To study in Germany do not have to go through the DAAD. If for PhD, PhD each student would get a scholarship. So could after you pass the graduate, you are directly looking at a German university professor who happened to be the same field with the field of your specialization, and apply. But of course you’ll need self-sufficient living expenses a month and a plane ticket to Germany.

Fortunately, unlike as in the U.S. and Canada, usually in Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, Belgium and Switzerland, have no obligation to be teaching assistant or research assistant. Even so there is usually only one tutorial session per week. Not heavy at all. Even if we were told to write the paper, it is usually for our benefit as well. Salary (or let’s say scholarship) we just once for life.

Do not forget to contact former professors (the same way that in the U.S.). Also send a statement of purpose and research plan. If I it necessary you should first discuss research plan (let match with his adviser) before applying to university.

The contents of research plan that the standards are: background issues, problems, research methodology, how you will approximately solve the problem, etc.. Outline only, as long as you give an idea what you are going through.

I recommend taking a German course at Goethe Institute, because at least there are 3 countries that provide scholarships, using the German language, namely Germany, Switzerland and Austria. It had been so, if it is possible German, Dutch language learning so easy.

Actually if you take PhD, in reality do not have to use the German language when discussing with peers or professors. This is because not many people are willing to follow the PhD program, and usually the university that ‘require’ PhD students. But, to increase the probability of getting a scholarship, why not learn German?

Scholarship to Netherlands

Exactly the same as Germany, only the name of the dealer information on educational institutions are Netherlands Education Center (NEC.

Schools in the Netherlands are also free, but the international program is usually not free. The Dutch government also provides scholarship schemes that rival pretty much, his name TALIS scholarship.

NEC also provides annual scholarships provided directly by the universities in the Netherlands. In addition there are also international programs that speak English. Scholarship in English classes it is usually only half the money tuition fee and difficult to get it.

Scholarship to Austria & Switzerland

In general scholarship to Austria and to Switzerland is the same as to Germany. Each year the embassy of Austria and Switzerland also provide scholarships, but unlike the Netherlands and Germany, they do not provide scholarships graduate altogether. That may be the title of graduate from your country, but the sandwich there (study 6 months – 1 year). But of course still get a certificate. In addition, of course, a scholarship from the embassy of Austria and Switzerland also has that for PhD. Everything is complete with airfare and living expenses. Practically can with knee capital that can be scholarship.

When the interview process the embassy will usually ask the same things as in the statement of purpose and research plan. In the Swiss embassy there is also a language test, just to test it, yet it will also school in the language school in Switzerland before entering college. Depending on where you choose a school, there are universities in French-speaking Switzerland, as for example in Geneva. But if the north and east, generally speaking German.

You also can sign up directly to the university in question, especially for PhD program, in the same way as Germany and the Netherlands. Free and paid well.

Scholarship to Japan

Actually if you came to Japan there, quite a lot of scholarship, but unfortunately not many full pay tuition and living expenses. Even for PhD it also must pay.

Japanese Government Monbusho scholarships also provide to the people of your country. There are two types of scholarships Mombusho. The first applicants must be civil servants or teachers. Through this route, applicants that pass the selection will look for mentors / professors who fit appropriate interest. While the other one the applicant must actively seek out the professor, and ask if the professor is willing to be a research mentor applicants. Click here for complete information on Monbusho scholarships.

Scholarship to. Australia and UK

As we know Australia provides an annual scholarship that has high competition. While the UK also provides annual scholarships graduate and PhD (British Chivening). Scholarships given to 80% of civil servants and 20% private.

Keep informed also that the British Council is also often have scholarship announcement to graduate/PhD, just that unfortunately almost all partial scholarship (eg 1 / 2 tuition money).

Australia and Britain are well known countries stingy in terms of scholarship.  Roughly, they commercialize education. Even for PhD, must pay. Even if there are scholarship programs, rival many.

But do not despair. If there’s a will, there is a road. Several universities in Australia, delivering research scholarship from the Australian government for graduate/PhD level is limited to international applicants (non AusAID), including the cost of living (without a plane ticket and settlement costs). It’s just that rival pretty much, although not as tight as AusAID. In the registration form which usually can be downloaded directly from the university website, do not forget to include a statement of purpose and research plan.

But I also once offered to teach a bachelor’s program in Australia (perhaps this time they are short of lecturers), while taking courses PhD. So there is a chance to teach or be a staff of researchers, as well as taking PhD. Stay clever-clever we are to persuade them to want to take us. Take advantage of visits to Your country, Australian education institutions to recruit students undergraduate, PhD once to seek the possibility of working at the university.

Then the University of Cambridge (www.cambridge.ac.uk) also provides scholarships removable without bond department.
